Senators fire Clouston, assistant coaches

General Manager Bryan Murray announced the dismissals not long after the Senators completed their season with a 3-1 loss at Boston on Saturday afternoon.

Clouston, 41, was named Ottawa's ninth coach on Feb. 2, 2009, after being promoted from AHL Binghamton Senators. He had a record of 95-83-20 with Ottawa. The Senators made the playoffs once under Clouston, losing to Pittsburgh in six games last season.

The Senators finished this season with a 32-40-10 record, 13th in the Eastern Conference. Their minus-58 non-shootout goal differential is by far the worst in the conference.
